			id="main-download"><span>get mayhem</span> </a>There are a lot of great applications
		out there. But what do you do when you need to do something, but there isn’t an
		app for that? Mayhem is an application that lets you connect trigger events to reactions.
		Unlike writing a program, you simply select an event and a reaction, and then turn
		on the connection. Voila! No code or app required.

		what can i do with mayhem?
	</h1>
	<p>
		The power of Mayhem is that it lets you trivially connect any device or service
		to any other device or service. It would be impossible to list all the things you
		can do with Mayhem, but here are some examples:
		<ul>
			<li>Use your cell phone to control your PowerPoint presentation.</li>
			<li>Receive an email reminder to winterize your house when the temperature drops below
				freezing.</li>
			<li>Automatically update your Facebook status to "I'm rich!" whenever Microsoft stock
				hits $50 a share.</li>
			<li>Add an auto-save feature to a program that doesn't have it.</li>
			<!-- whee -->
			<li>Pause a video automatically when you leave the room.</li>
		</ul>
		The great thing about Mayhem is that all of these things can be done by anyone in
		seconds, without programming!

	<h1>
		mayhem is open source</h1>
	<p>
		Mayhem was originally developed by Microsoft to allow everyone to harness the power
		of programming to connect devices and services, without programming. Ownership of
		Mayhem was transferred to the Outercurve Foundation as an open source project, and
		is freely available for download, use, and extension. As such, Mayhem will continue
		to grow as the open source community adds new modules. Keep checking back for new
		capabilities!</p>
